  • Fedora has RPM-Fusion as well as access to many fedora-tailored hardening scripts if that’s what you’re into. Setting up Flathub (and also adjusting things like internet permissions through KDE settings or flatseal f you’re into that) is a good way to access large amounts of official and unofficial software on any distro. You can also add parameters in your /etc/dnf/dnf.conf/ file to optimize and speed up DNF

    • max_parallel_downloads=10 (lower this number if you have slower internet)
    • countme=false (possibly not needed, but manually disables user counting)
    • defaultyes=true (again not needed but even though I have been using Fedora much longer than Debian or Ubuntu I still like the Y/n setup over the y/N)

    You can also disable specific repos in either KDE or Gnome Stores (I don’t know how to on CLI). I usually disable Fedora Flatpaks and all other 3rd party repos except for the RPM fusion repos I set up and Flathub. Saves a bit of time when using “dnf update”.

    i use fedora btw, in case you couldn’t tell.
